Re: Forum ranks/positions (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?)

So... you have to be on for a month just to get Jr Member? Annoying.

I think it's slightly more than a month seeing as you only get 14 activity per two weeks, but it doesn't really matter anyway.

Does for signature promos and the like. Plus people respect you more, for some reason.

I don't think respect is derived from activity. There are other signature deals that require no activity: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=333916.0

This system is kind of like foreskin because you can live without it.
It doesn't really keep out the bad stuff like syphilis, it just helps keep sand from getting in the tip.
